Titanfall

So, I got Titanfall for the X-Bone. It is the most fun I have had in a FPS....ever. Literally ever. If you like playing online first person shooters, this is probably the game for you. It doesnt have a single player mode, so beware if that is what you are into. What it does have are:

Titans: Who doesnt want to fuck shit up in a giant robot? There are basically three different types of titans which are balanced (Atlas), Tanky (Ogre), and fast (Stryder). They all have advantages and disadvantages. I almost always use the Ogre because I like getting up close and personal. Punching shit in a titan is super fun and effective. You can splatter a pilot, or do massive damage to the Titan itself. In case you are wondering, it is called Titanfall because when your Titan is ready, they shoot it down to you from space. If you aim it correctly, it one shots opposing Titans if it lands on top of it. You can ride around in your titan and fuck shit up, or you can set it to guard an area while you still run around and shoot shit.

Parkour!: You can run on walls, and jet pack jump. If you are decent, you can get to any place on the map pretty much. You can also wall hang to get the drop on people. You do not take fall damage. Literally none.
You can run sideways on a wall, double jump off and start running on another. You can jump out a window, jet jump backwards, and hang on the wall waiting for whoever was chasing you to come out. There are just so many possibilities.

Yeehaw Cowboy: There are some other very fun things in Titanfall, and that includes the ability to Rodeo. Basically, you can jump on an enemy Titan, pull off some armor plating, and start blasting it's insides. Most of the time, the pilot will stop and get out to shoot you off. If they don't you are going to take them out with the quickness. A couple of other things I love are the melee attacks. If you attack from the front, you do a kick like Chuck Norris. My wife giggled uncontrollably watching me run around and kicking dudes to death like 10 times in a row. If you attack them from behind, it is even more fun. You grab hold of their head and twist it around completely. If you are on the receiving end, the last thing you see before respawn is the face of your murderer.

Overall, I fucking love this game. Absolutely a blast to play. If anyone else is playing it on Xboxone and wants to join me, my battletag is Bigjuicyhog52.
